February 1st

A nice sunny warm day in AJ.  I got out for a bike ride early in the morning.  A perfect day for it, no wind to slow me down, LOL.  Made over 5 miles, in fact just about 6 today & my top speed was 15 mph.
  After I got back we went to the big Fry's store in Scottsdale.  While it includes the regular grocery store that we have in AJ, the Scottsdale store has much more.  We are still looking for the ez up gazebo and while they had a pretty good selection, they were all the kind you build & leave in place.  The traffic was fairly heavy both going there and returning home on the 101 loop where it merges with the 202 loop.
  We got half way home and pulled off in Mesa, with the idea of going to a soup and salad place we like.  Before we got there we passed the Golden Corral, one of our favorite buffets.  They have a great salad bar and that was what we were really looking for anyway, so stopped for lunch.  It was good as usual and while we were able to keep from loading up, but still had a pretty good sized lunch.
  After lunch Marg went for a haircut.  She got an appointment with the hairdresser of a friend, so it was her first time at this place.  I think it turned out well and so did her friends when she got back.  Not sure what her reaction is, but I think that will come out after she does her hair after a few mornings.  I played some 8 ball while she was at the hair place. 
  Went to happy hour tonight and had a few laughs.  It's kind of like the guys sit in one are and the women in the other and talk about different things.  Not sure about the topics for the girls, but today we talked about fishing, snowmobiles, camping and tried to solve the question of world peace, LOL.  Had trouble getting away, the hosts are too gracious, but as we had lots to do we were the first to skip out.
  Just got back in time for a quick snack, good thing we had a big lunch.  Went over to the hall to get everything ready for breakfast in the morning.  Our team cooks breakfast, I will be the architect of the best pancakes in Carefree Manor RV park & Marg the scrambled eggs.  It's always a stretch for Marg, not the cooking but the 7 AM start time.
  After we went to the animal races.  Small crowd tonight, hope it picks up next week or the animals may become extinct.  I think Marg won every race but one and that may have been the time I did win.  She was doing her happy dance all night.  Lots of laughs again.  I guess you could say it was a fun day.
